Can you watch this video in browsers without relays like proxies or VPNs?

[yangofzeal]

No. I was wondering if there's an option to spoof an ip.

@yan12125 I tried using VPN & multiple proxies still can't download it nor I can watch it any help
this is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APY-dar9c10

I don't think copyrighted videos can be downloaded. If you can watch it in browsers with some VPN or proxy and are not sure how to make youtube-dl to the same VPN/proxy, ask on IRC.
